		Bianca Maria was given as bride to Francesco Sforza in order to secure the loyalty of Sforza to Filippo Maria Visconti.
		Slender as his claim might seem, this was the foundation for Francesco Sforza's rule, and despite the fact that his legitimacy of rule was never acknowledged by the Emperor, Francesco Sforza ruled as Duke of Milan for the next 16 years and founded a hereditary dynasty in his own right.
		The position Francesco Sforza found himself in was a less than enviable one: he had just succeeded by force of arms and a dubious family connection to the throne of one of the most powerful states of Renaissance Italy, and much of his rule was concerned with consolidating his power.

	XI. The notes on Sculpture Page 1
		There is less cause for surprise at finding that the equestrian statue of Francesco Sforza is only incidentally spoken of; for, although Leonardo must have worked at it for a long succession of years, it is not in the nature of the case that it could have given rise to much writing.
		The second group of preparatory sketches, representing the horse as galloping, must therefore be considered separately, a distinction which, in recapitulating the history of the origin of the monument seems justified by the note given under No. 720.
		Galeazza Maria Sforza was assassinated in 1476 before his scheme for erecting a monument to his father Francesco Sforza could be carried into effect.

	Commentarii rerum gestyarum Francisci Sfortiae. [Ed. Francesco Putealano]. Milan, Antonio Zarotto, 23 January [ : ...
		Francesco Sforza is perhaps the best example of an opportunist condottiere who became a respected prince; he was employed by Duke Filippo Maria Visconti whose daughter Bianca Maria he married in 1443.
		Simonetta's further purpose was to aid Sforza's ambition to gain imperial investiture, a goal finally achieved by the marriage of Bianca Maria Sforza to Maximilian I. The Commentarii appear to have been written between 1473 and 1476 but were not finally published until around 1482.
		This was mainly due to the changing political climate in Milan; the features of the work which made it one of the century's outstanding examples of humanistic historical writing (political realism, its bald apology for power and consequent detachment from the sentimental mythology of Milanese city traditions) made it locally unpalatable.

	A Horse for the Duke / A Horse for Leonardo
		A monument to celebrate the status and the exploits of Francesco Sforza was first proposed during Galeazzo Maria’s rule.
		Francesco’s son planned to build a life-size, bronze equestrian statue to be placed inside the Sforza Castle, in the ravelin towards the square or however in a place where it would create a great impression.
		It was certainly there in 1493, when the wedding between Bianca Maria Sforza and Maximilian of Hapsburg was celebrated: in fact, there are no valid reasons to believe that the model had been publicly exhibited, contrary to what some poets of the time claim.
